Ingredients
Units
- – 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) chuck or oyster blade steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- – 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- – 1 tbsp sesame oil
- – 1 tbsp cornflour
- – 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- – 1 tbsp shaoxing wine
- – 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- – 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- – 1 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper
- – 3 tbsp oyster sauce
- – 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- – 1 tsp white sugar
- – 2 tbsp cooking oil
- – 1 tbsp freshly minced garlic
- – 1 red capsicum (bell pepper), seeded and cut into chunks
- – 1 onion, cut into thick wedges
- – 4 spring onions (scallions), cut into 2 cm batons
- – Steamed jasmine rice
- – Extra freshly cracked black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, mix the thinly sliced beef with bicarbonate of soda, sesame oil, cornflour, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to marinate.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, white sugar, and 1 tbsp of freshly cracked black pepper. Set the sauce mixture aside.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Heat 1 tbsp of cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the red capsicum (bell pepper), onion, and spring onions. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still vibrant.
- Cook the Beef: In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tbsp of cooking oil. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Combine with Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the sauce thicken and flavors meld together.
- Serve: Serve the Black Pepper Beef hot, over steamed jasmine rice. Optionally, top with extra freshly cracked black pepper for added flavor.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add chopped red chili peppers to the stir-fry.
- You can customize the vegetables in this dish by adding broccoli, snap peas, or mushrooms.
